ToIedo's Great Wine Tun.

Work was begun in 1888 on the great
wine tun of Toledo, O., but the solid
American oak of which it was built was
drying in a kiln for six years prior to
that. Its oaken slaves are twenty-one
feet long and six inches square. In the
rough. six of them formed a load for
two horse team. With the utmost nicely
they were put in place until, as a whole,
they measured over sixty feet in circum-
ference. Through tie center of the tun,
where it curves outward in huge swell,
it measures twenty-oT.e feet the diameter
at the ends is eighteen feet. 1t contains
36, 600 gallons of dry wine. To with
stand the enormous pressure of this bulk,
three iron rods are carried from end TO
end, where they are riveted i'll oaken
beams of great size and strength. The
hoops are of iron. There are fourteen Of
them and they weigh three tons. Each
hoop is six inches broad and about third
of an inch in thickness. They are wen
groomed hoops, and shine as if in con-
slant contact with an emery wheel.
But everything about the great tun be-
tokens the great care that is taken of it.
Its oaken surface is polished to such q
degree that the sun loves to creep in
through the prison like windows and
dance upon its shining bulk. The huge
brass spigot glitters like gold fresh from
the coiner's hand. The oaken platform
that faces its tremendous head, aud the
oaken stairway that winds around the
base and enables the visitor to look down
upon the mammoth, glisten under fire.

this iron ribbed body makes no impress

wood; then the sound is like the last gasr

occupied in filling it with catawba made
from grapes that grow on islands IN Put
in Bay, where Commodore Perry taught
John Bull lesson some years ago. And
when the tun was full, when 3G, 000
gallons of wine had been poured into the
vast interior, there was much rejoicing
in the immediate vicinity, and all whc
witnessed the completion of the process
felt in duty bound to drink TO the health
of the Toledo trln, and to do 50 in such
unstinted measure that the occasion is

Queer Birds of Yesterday.

A number of large and interesting
birds have become extinct within recent
times. OF these the epiornis, of NADIA
gascar, was probably the largest. Fossil
fragments indicate that this creature was
at least twelve feet in height, with a
weight five or six times as great as that
of the ostrich. Specimens of its eggs have
been found and measure nearly thirteen
and half inches in largest diameter by
nine inches in smallest diameter, with a
capacity Of nearly eight quarts. The
plQa, OF dinornis, of New Zealand, was
also larger than any bird now living, its
height having been ten or twelve feet.
Its ''drumstick" was thirty to thirty-two
inches long and its eggs SO large that a
hat would make a good egg cup for
them,
The famous dodo, fifty pound bird of
Mauritius, was once well known to the
Dutch, but has not been reported as seen
during the last 900 years. The solitaire
is another exterminated bird of the same
island, The great aux, of the North sea-
is supposed to have become extinct since
1874. These are few Of the latest dis
appearances of the bird world; other
large species are fast diminishing in num-
bers, and soon the Australian emue and
New Zealand apteryx, for example, will
have passed away also. = Arkansaw

IN A FLORIDA SWAMP.
OvsrshadOwed by Forest of Blossoms

Ovsrshadowed by n Forest of Blossoms.
Snakes in the Low Branches.
Soon the forest closed in on both sides
of the narrowing creek. The banks on
either side were but three or four inches
above water, and we could look far into
the dark woods, over dead level covered
with luxuriant vegetation-some fresh,
some old. Ferns of many varieties some
times blocked the view with their fronds
Now and then there We're patches of soil
in the deep shadow, where nothing grew
except the white Atan- asco lily. Scores
of this starry flower lit up these somber
places. The creek grew more narrow
and winding. The trees met overhead,
and we bent our heads low to pass under
the branches, stretching up our hands &c
casionally to break off twigs loaded with
blossoms. So on for | know not how
long a distance, till the boat could go no
farther, and we went ashore and loaded
ourselves with flowers. A catalogue of
them would be too long.
DO you ever experience the delight
which is caused by meeting familiar
home flower among strange blossoms? Up
here the air was filled with fragrance
which was easily traced to the small
white bloom of our partri 'ge berry,
much more fragrant in Floi la than in
New England. Perhaps the most strik-
ing feature of this spot is that, after you
have emerged from the bottom land and
ascended on the dry soil beside the
swamp, you find yourself in a small
forest of the sparkle berry, tree which
for beauty has hardly a rival. The
blossoms, which are small and white,
hang by the million on slender stems.
Looking up at them you are bewildered
with their beauty and lavish abundance.
Day is not long enough to satisfy one
who once gets into the heart of Florida
swamp in April. There are countless
plants in blossom, and many more whose
strange and unknown foliage leads YOU
to wonder what their blossom will be-

One of the stories of the sort which
formed the staple Of subject for a school
of literature now pretty Well gone ont of
fashion, is told concerning the Quincy
house and its late proprietor, Mr.. j. w.
johnson. 1t is related by those sometimes
entertaining and anon prolix gossips
who know all the old stories which deal
with their neighbors, that once Mr.. John.
son, then a farmer up country, came to
Boston to sell q load of potatoes. Such
was his Ill luck, however, or the dullness
of the market, that at the close of his
marketing he found himself without ready
money enough to pay his score at tho
Quincy house, where he had taken a
room. There was talk of retaining the
farmers horses in pledge for his bill, but
johnson, who was powerful man, went
himself to the stables and harnessed his
team, no man daring to interfere with
him except by word. The matter termi-
mated for the time being in the regulation
manner of the old comedies. The farmer
departed in fine rage, pursued by the
taunts of the employees of the house,
which he answered with q vow to own
the whole establishment before he died,
From that day his one ambition seemed
to be to fulfill his boast, and TO this end
he labored and saved until-still in the
old fashioned comedy fashion-events had
been shaped to his will, and his pluck and
persistence were rewarded by the actual
possession Of the Quincy house, from
whose doors he had once been ignomini-
ously driven because he could not pay his
bill Boston Cor. Providence Journal.

In a narrative of Lord Mccartney 5
embassy to China, it is related that his
lordship's attendants, in passing through
part of that empire, saw a man culti-
waiting the side of a precipice, aud ON ex-
animation they found he had rope fas-
tened around his waist, which was Sc
cured at the top of the mountain, and by
which he let himself down to any part Of
the precipice where few yards of avail
able ground gave him encouragement to
plant his vegetables and his corn. The

The paper bottle is the latest evidence
that we live in an age of paper. Car
wheels, barrels, pals, washbowls and
racing boats are now made from paper,
or substance that can be only SO named,
though it is rather papier mache than a
texture that has been produced by the
complicated appliances of paper mill.
The paper bottle is the invention Of q
manufacturer Of ink and bluing at Chi
cago. 1t has these advantages over the
glass bottle: Less likely to break; much
lighter weight; impenetrability to frost;
lower cost; no packing material needed
in cases, if properly prepared. The only
advantage possessed by the glass bottle
is transparency. A decided preference
for the paper bottle is predicted by the
American grocer, And speaking of bot
ties, why is it that the cylinder shape is
SO largely in fashion? An immense saw
ing of room, and consequently in cost of
carriage, would be effected, were square
bottles used, and the same might be said
of cans, in which articles of food or for
other purposes are packed. The square
can has made great gains in the favor of
packers within few years, but the cyl
inder is still largely used.-Boston Tran
